Chiondoxa forbesii

A delightful early spring bulb, bursting into bloom with starry blue flowers touched with white. Plant in well-drained soil and full sun or light shade. Once settled, it returns year after year, often multiplying into cheerful carpets of colour. Hardy and low-maintenance, it pairs beautifully with snowdrops and crocus for a charming early-season display. A true herald of spring and a joy for pollinator

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn, ideally from September to November, before the ground freezes.

Where to Plant:
Choose a well-drained spot in full sun or light dappled shade. Chionodoxa thrive in borders, rock gardens, under deciduous trees, or naturalised in grass.

How to Plant:

• Depth: 5–8cm (2–3 inches)
• Spacing: 5–8cm (2–3 inches) apart
• Plant with the pointed end facing upwards.

Aftercare:
Once planted, water well and leave them undisturbed to naturalise and multiply over the years. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulbs for next year. Low-maintenance and deer-resistant, Chionodoxa will return reliably each spring.
